Indeed, in general, healthy investment returns cannot be sustained in a weak economy, and of course it is difficult to save for retirement or other goals without the income from a job.

The key thing about wealth in a capitalist economy is that it reproduces itself and usually earns a positive net return.

Wealth can only be accumulated by the earnings of industry and the savings of frugality.

There can be economy only where there is efficiency.

If you're going to grow the economy, if people are going to have more income, you have to have stability in the marketplace.

I believe the returns on investment in the poor are just as exciting as successes achieved in the business arena, and they are even more meaningful!

If we are able to allow people to earn a decent rate of return, with sufficient scale, we can all do well by doing good.

The market economy is very good at wealth creation but not perfect at all about wealth distribution.

There are two main drivers of asset class returns - inflation and growth.

I think good private equity investors create a lot more economic value than they destroy.
